This is more a the plot of the
world and its past as a whole~

So, in the beginning when God created earth, he put four great
dragons on the earth to keep balance, these dragons each
represent and control one element, fire, earth, air, and water
.Each of these dragons were given a guardian to awaken and put
them to sleep during the changes of the cycles. because they
are so powerful, only one can be awake at a time, Also there
guardians aren't put to sleep because the cycles last for
thousands of years. Many years past when humans were finally
put on the earth. At first, everything was in balance and the
people were thriving, until they started to rebel. They became
greedy, selfish, hateful, and angry. They started to pity
themselves and their life, go against their faith, and kill
each other for pleasure and revenge. Soon there many sins
introduced them to Evil. This Evil grew more powerful every
day, eventually taking a solid form, the Dark Dragon. The
balance was then put into a deep pit creating a world of
hatred. The four dragons saw what was happening and prayed to
God to restore the peace that the Earth once had, so he created
the light Dragon(controller of all elements and anything Good)
As soon as this new act of savior was put on the earth, a
fierce battle was started between the six powerful dragons, and
there guardians. On earth, the humans who created the Evil
tried to help the dark dragon while the few good humans created
guilds to fight the sinful. The battle became so fierce between
the dragons, guilds and humans, that a group of seven angels
had to help out the guilds with the humans and stop the
destruction of the earth. After many centuries of war, the
light dragon prevailed and put the dark dragon into an internal
sleep. Centuries later some people who remembered the dark past
took pity on the dark dragon and agreed with his view of the
world. They soon began to adopt and practice his ancient art of
dark magic. Now, a disruption is occurring because the vain act
to bring back and resume the reign of the Dark Dragon, causing
the guardians to forget who they are. Currently, guilds that
were formed to help the light dragon "police" the people, are
Trying to find out more about their dark past, but they are
unaware about the terror soon to come.

Reds Back story~

In the beginning of Reds life,
she was put on earth to help the elemental dragons win the
great war. She was fierce in battle, and so was her master.
Soon they one the war, and the world was again at peace.
Everything was fine, until the people began to Sin once again,
and all the great empires fell. Slowly the guardians were
forgotten by the people, and soon, they had forgotten
themselves. Without the knowledge of who their true selves,
they were then easily corrupted by the humans many sins, making
their holy powers weaken by the minute. The great dragons saw
what was happening and thought that maybe if they "re-birthed"
the guardians from the elements, with a fresh child-like mind
and put them into a holy society, that maybe, they would be
able to continue their original duties. But of course, they
were wrong.

As a Child, Red waited to be
found in a cold dark forest. Everyday she was threatened by the
many dangers of living alone in the wild,without any kind of
human contact. Because of this, she was basically an animal.
But without any kind of natural instincts or adaptations to the
environment, she waited, barely surviving, until she was
finally found by an old man one day after she was brutally
injured when attacked by a group of hunters. But to the old
mans surprise, she defeated them all. Because the first contact
with a human was violent, she instantly gained a boiling hatred
for the awful creatures, knowing that the only pure things in
life was the peaceful nature around her, and the animals that
she loved. The old man had a very hard time getting Red to stay
with him, but eventually she succumbed to the delicious food
and warm home. The old man then took her in, raised her with
old traditions and cultures of the dragon ways, and taught her
the powers she was given with. One day when she was helping
some of the other villagers, a kind lady walked up to her and
asked her what her name was. Red just looked at her with a
blank expression, realizing that she didn't't have a name,
unlike everyone else. Red became a little embarrassed by this,
so she looked down at the ground. On the ground there was a
puddle that reflected her scarred face, and her seemingly
glowing red eyes. Red then looked up and simple said "Red". The
woman then looked at her with a puzzled expression and then
answered, "How about Scarlet? its a much better name for a
young lady like you." Red then glared at the lady for a moment
then repeated herself in a more assertive voice. Red hated
being called a girl, it made her feel weak. All of her friends
were boys, and she absolutely couldn't stand any of the girls,
mainly because they thought that "Ladies" weren't't supposed to
be involved in such aggressive behavior, that is a man's
privilege. She hated doing the tasks the females were always
stuck with, and she loved to fight. She was even the strongest
child in her village. She was more like a boy then a girl in
practically every way, so she preferred the masculine name.
There was really nothing particularly wrong with the name, it
just didn't't feel right to Red. After Red insisted her name be
Red, The lady then smiled and ruffed up her hair while saying
"Well then Red, how about you take a break and go play with the
boys over there for a little bit. Red then ran in the direction
the woman was pointing with a very excited look on her face.
After she finally had a name, and her guardian could finally
begin to train her in the martial arts, Red became very happy
in her current position. But, of course, like all great hero's
lives, the happy beginning, didn't't last very long. One day,
as her guardian was walking home with a gift for Red(the dragon
pendant) he was attacked and killed in a ambush. During this
time Red was Running errands in the town, when she found his
cold body laying in a pool of blood, and in his hand was the
necklace(the necklace helps her control her powers, by
concentrating the energy, Without this necklace, Red would
constantly torch and demolish the things around her) As Red
went to pick it up, she was knocked out and taken by the people
who ambushed her. Red was taken to their home and erased of all
her memories. She was tortured everyday until she finally
escaped into reality with no real experience or knowledge of
the real world, so she soon joined a rebellion. Later, she was
arrested for a petty crime and was sent to the jail. Once she
came out of jail, she was immediately sent to an orphanage. The
owner was a cruel and twisted old lady who hated anyone who was
different. Red of course, was the least favorite of the
children. Red became extremely miserable until a new person was
brought in, their name, or as Red new, their real name, was
Jack. Because of their similar hardships and indifference's
they quickly became friends. They finally got the upper hand
between the kids, but they were soon adopted to separate
families, knowing they would probably never see each other
again. When Red was brought home to her new family, She soon
found they were very a controlling family with an abusive
father and a brainwashed mother. The father forced her to
practice the musical arts so she would seem like a normal
child. Everyday the father reminded Red(or scarlet, the name
given to Red by the foster home) to never go into his study(the
place where he and his friends always went). One day after the
father had beaten the mother to death Red ran into the basement
and locked the door, when she turned around she saw many
tortured dead bodies hanging from the ceiling by their throat.
Red then grabbed a knife from a table sitting by a bloody white
chair and killed the father. Red ran away and soon found
herself living on the streets again, now doing various jobs
throughout the kingdom.
